Good luck charm/token/thing. Do you carry one when you ride?

I carry a tiny Catholic medallion with a picture of Jesus on one side, and Mary holding baby Jesus on the other.
I found it in the pocket of a 1950's motorcycle jacket from the Belgian army I bought from an army surplus shop. So it's a pre-used good luck charm, double-lucky.

I don't even believe in god, but it feels good to carry it for some reason.

And you?

Not so much good luck charms,but when I left the family I'd stayed with through most of my teens,the girls(4 & 7 at the time) gave me a pair of little toys,a builder with hammer and saw (+ a builders butt

) and a kiwi in camo holding a gun.got them both stuck next to the speedo and they always make me smile to see them there.

i have my "good luck" charms etched into my back. each friend or family member of mine that dies gets a memorial butterfly tattoo. those butterflies have saved me from major injury once already.

I suppose vegetarians need all the help they can get...

Well I don't use it as a good luck charm but I do have a wee stuffed cow that my daughter gave me, sitting between the speedo/rev counter and the fairing. It reminds me that I still have people who need me and not to do anything silly.

Don't think of it as a good luck charm, but I have a highlanders keyring that I use on my bike key only

And you?

Feels good doesn't it............

I don't have good luck charms for obvious reasons but have a key fob with my Daughter's name to remind me and have my special tattoo on back........

I am a vegetarian, and Hitcher is ribbing me in a good-natured way. Bastidge!

I have my rollerblade keyring, that my other half gave me. Actually, come to think of it, I stole it.

**MyGSXF:Me** · 21st June 2007, 22:24

I carry mine in my heart...

**skelstar** · 21st June 2007, 23:08

I have flame stickers stuck on my tank...a gift that was passed/stuck on by their far more attractive rider.

**Chickadee** · 21st June 2007, 23:21

Hmmm, I think I need to get one. I used to have 'Crazy frog' on my bike, should really re-instate my blue mad looking friend, he'll keep me safe and upright.
